It’s Christmas Eve.
Most people leave milk and cookies out for Santa.
“It’s a tradition,” they say.
“Doesn’t the milk spoil out there?” the children ask.
Does Santa like spoiled milk?
No, he doesn’t.
People aren’t keeping the tradition right.
It’s not supposed to be a glass of milk out on the mantelpiece.
Santa wanted fresh milk.
Not from a cow, though.
“What a lovely baby,” Santa would say. “I might have a gift for them.”
Kid can only suckle one side at a time, right?
Maybe when he’s done, he might want your cookie.
And that’s how traditions start.
